Mid of exhibition LEAD IN : Ahead of International Women's day an exhibition of paintings by female artists has taken place in the Afghan capital Kabul. Just seven years after the fall of the Taliban's oppressive regime, Afghani women are enjoying more freedom of expression. STORYLINE: Less than a decade ago the Afghan authorities would have torn these paintings to pieces. Under the hardline Taliban regime (1996 - 2001), women were forbidden from leaving home without a male relative as an escort and girls were not allowed to go to school. Figurative art was banned and even destroyed. But seven years on after fall of the Taliban, Afghan women are beginning to express themselves creatively through painting. Most of these artworks represent the experiences and hardships, which most of the Afghan women have been through in the last three decades of war. 20 year-old Omulbanin took up painting three years ago. She says it is a good way to express how she feels about the issues that she confronts in daily life. The ninety three paintings on display illustrate the emotions and images of a war-torn country in which women are still deeply oppressed. But what is truly remarkable about the exhibition in post - Taliban Afghanistan, is that all the artists are women. Twenty-three young artists displayed their work at an eight-day show in Kabul attended by some 3,000 people, according to the event organiser Rahraw Omarzad. The artists, who ranged in age from seven to twenty six, guided their visitors around the gymnasium of a Kabul high school, describing their work and taking photographs with the viewers. Several paintings depicted women shrouded in the all-encompassing burqa that many Afghan women are forced to wear to protect them from the eyes of men who are not related to them.
